India Pale Ale IPA

In the 18th century, the colonial English empire were producing some special beers with more alcohol and more hops than usual, so they could last the long journey to India. And so the India Pale Ale was born, also called IPA. During the craft beer revolution in the United States, this style was reinvented with malts and hops from the nearby regions, creating then the American IPA.
